ALEXANDRIA, Va.—In honor of Veterans Day, Tiger Fuel is offering a free top wash at one of Tiger Fuel’s eight participating TigerWash locations. In addition to the complimentary wash, the c-store retailer is giving all service members a free lunch at one of its nine gourmet-to-go convenience stores, known as The Markets. The Veterans Day menu includes a signature sandwich, two-piece chicken meal or hot dog.

This is the 11th year that Tiger Fuel has partnered with Grace for Vets, a nonprofit organization that seeks to honor local veterans and service personnel with a complimentary car wash. Over 3.3 million free car washes have been extended to military members around the world since the nonprofit was founded in 2004.

“Tiger Fuel recognizes the commitment of all individuals who have dedicated their life to protect our nation. Veterans Day is a great opportunity to honor our veterans and active military,” said Gordon Sutton, president of Tiger Fuel. “We’re proud to employ a number of veterans across our business. We’re excited to continue the tradition of offering a free wash and meal to our veterans and active military members.”

Seattle-based, family-owned Brown Bear will donate $1 for each car washed on Veterans Day to support Puget Sound Honor Flight and its mission of transporting Western Washington war veterans to visit memorials in Washington, D.C.

Dandy Mini Marts is celebrating active, reserve and retired veterans across the Twin Tiers region of Pennsylvania and New York by offering two slices of cheese or pepperoni pizza or one slice of stromboli from the Dandy Pizza case on Veterans Day.

For almost 40 years, Dandy has supported veterans and the numerous veterans’ agencies across the 15 counties in Pennsylvania and New York where Dandy operates.

“We proudly support our veteran employees and happily serve our veteran customers every day, so taking the opportunity to use Dandy’s presence in the Twin Tiers to show a small token of our appreciation and offer Dandy Pizza and stromboli to our local vets is important to us,” said Bill Bustin, Dandy’s marketing director.
